Working for Jinghong was not the same as working for the imperial court, although the results were the same.

Si Yingzong’s dim eyes lit up, but they quickly returned to normal. “I have two more conditions.”

Chu Qingzhi walked over. “Tell me.”

Si Yingzong looked up at Tang Jinghong. “First, kill my superior. Second, help me find my sister-in-law’s son.”

“Your sister-in-law’s son?” Tang Jinghong frowned slightly. Wasn’t Si Yingzong the only one left in the Si family?

Si Yingzong explained, “When the late emperor sent people to kill my family, my sister-in-law just gave birth to a child. The people from the imperial court didn’t know of that child’s existence. My sister-in-law placed the child in the rice jar. Later, I went back to look for him. There was no baby or corpse in the rice jar. He must have been taken away.”

“I promise you.” Tang Jinghong thought to himself. The Imperial Court should give the Si family an explanation. In addition, finding a lost child was a good deed. He had no reason to refuse it.

Si Yingzong clenched his fists and looked at Chu Qingzhi expectantly. “Miss, is what you said true?”

Chu Qingzhi said confidently, “I can let you stand up tonight.”

Si Yingzong looked excited. “Thank you, Miss.”

Walking out of Si Yingzong’s courtyard, Tang Jinghong asked in confusion, “Qingzhi, Si Yingzong’s legs are gone. How can you let him stand up?”

Chu Qingzhi blinked and said mysteriously, “You’ll know when the time comes.”

Tang Jinghong thought for a moment and did not ask further. “It’s almost night. 1’11 go hunt some wild animals to cook. You rest first.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

Tang Jinghong quickly left the Qin mansion.

Shortly after that, Chu Qingzhi came to the forest. She carefully chose a tree suitable for artificial legs and cast a spell to carve a pair of artificial legs.

In order to make it realistic, she had even carved joints and modified the color to be close to a person’s skin. She had also left a layer of spiritual power on it to ensure that Si Yingzong could use it for the rest of his life.

After it was done, she took it and walked back.

Coincidentally, the old woman came out of the mansion with a basket to pick wild vegetables. When she saw the artificial legs in Chu Qingzhi’s hand, she shouted in fear, “Ah, ah, ah, leg…”

The corners of Chu Qingzhi’s mouth twitched. She looked down at the artificial legs in her hand. The more she looked at it, the more real it looked. “Grandma, this is fake. It just looks like a real leg.”

The old woman did not believe her. She threw the basket and ran into Si Yinzong’s room like a gust of wind. At the same time, she shouted excitedly, “Murder, murder!”

When Si Yingzong saw the old woman running in in fear and heard what she said, he couldn’t help but think, ‘Did that girl really chop someone’s leg off to put it on my leg?’

If so, it would be too shocking!

Chu Qingzhi walked into Si Yingzong’s room. The legs in her hand made Si Yingzong’s heart skip a beat. It was really a pair of legs. No wonder the old woman was so frightened!

Chu Qingzhi walked over and placed the legs on the table where Si Yingzong was studying the crossbow. “Take a look for yourself!”

Si Yingzong was most familiar with wood. When he took a closer look, he realized that he had misunderstood Chu Qingzhi and hurriedly apologized. “Miss, I’m sorry. 1 was wrong.”

The old woman was cowering in a corner. When she saw that there was no blood on the legs, coupled with what she heard, she could not help but walk over and touch it. “Wood?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “It’s wood. i’ll ask Jinghong to help you install it when he comes back later.”

She was a woman and it was not suitable for her to take off Si Yingzong’s pants.

Si Yingzong said gratefully, “Thank you, Miss.”

Tang Jinghong’s voice came from outside. His voice was low and filled with surprise. “Qingzhi, I’m back.”

Chu Qingzhi immediately walked out. “What prey did you catch?”

Tang Jinghong said, “I caught a roe deer, picked up some mushrooms, and caught two fish.”

Chu Qingzhi took the fish. The two fat grass carps were still wagging their tails, as if they were unwilling to submit to fate. “Let’s go cook together.”

Tang Jinghong smiled. “Okay.”

The two of them went to the kitchen and got busy.

As Chu Qingzhi washed the mushrooms, she asked, “Jinghong, if we take Si Yingzong away, what about the old granny?”

Tang Jinghong stopped cleaning the roe deer and thought for a moment. “Ask her where she wants to go. We’ll send her there. I’m afraid she won’t live long if we leave her alone in this deep forest.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Alright, but you can also leave her to Li Yuanshao. She is also a citizen of the northern border.”

Tang Jinghong agreed. “That’s a good idea.”

Dinner was very sumptuous. There was braised roe deer meat, mushroom roe deer bone soup, steamed fish, braised fish, and stir-fried wild vegetables.

The four of them ate together.

Si Yingzong looked at the sumptuous food and thought about the porridge he had eaten for lunch. It was as if he had suddenly turned from a commoner to a noble. His heart was filled with emotions.

Tang Jinghong picked out the most tender and best roe deer meat for Chu Qingzhi. “It’s been hard on you recently. Eat more.”

Chu Qingzhi was starving, so she didn’t reject it. “Okay.”

The four of them finished the five dishes.

The old woman went to wash the dishes energetically. She also hadn’t had such a sumptuous meal for a long time. Since they had prepared the dishes, she naturally should wash the dishes.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong followed Si Yingzong to the room.

Chu Qingzhi had already told Tang Jinghong what to do. Hence, as soon as they returned to the room, Tang Jinghong helped Si Yingzong to the bed, took off his pants, placed the artificial legs under his broken legs, covered it with a thin blanket, and then knocked Si Yingzong out.

He retreated to the side. “Qingzhi, it’s your turn.”

Chu Qingzhi walked to the bed and formed a seal. She cast a few spells at Si Yingzong. Spiritual light flashed in the room. It was extremely magical.

Under the effect of the spells, the two artificial legs were connected to Si Yingzong’s broken legs. There was almost no gap, like a real leg.

As long as Si Yingzong got used to it, he could walk.

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, This is too taxing on my body. A few spells consumed 30% of her spiritual power. “Jinghong, it’s done.”

Tang Jinghong was a little curious. He walked over and lifted the blanket, only to find that the artificial legs looked almost identical to the real legs… It was unbelievable.

He turned around and walked in front of Chu Qingzhi. He said curiously, “Qingzhi, you really have heaven-defying abilities.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong and raised her eyebrows. She thought to herself, This guy is clearly very curious as to how she did it. Why he just wouldn’t ask?

“Jinghong, go and wake him up. Let him take two steps.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi walked out of the room and sat on the stone stool outside. She looked at the full moon in the sky in a daze.

How should she explain her identity to Jinghong?

So troublesome!
